*UPCOMING:*
ARISS school contacts are currently planned to resume the week of
2025-01-13 to 2025-01-19.
Many times a school may make a last minute decision to do a Livestream or
run into a last minute glitch requiring a change of the URL but we at ARISS
may not get the URL in time for publication. You can always check
https://live.ariss.org/ to see if a school is Livestreaming.
The crossband repeater continues to be *ACTIVE* (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is
pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
The packet system is also active (145.825 MHz up & down) *until December
25, when the SSTV event begins.*
Ham TV – STATUS – *Stowed*. Default mode is for scheduled digital amateur
television operations (2395.00 MHz down).
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol. *Powering OFF for U.S. EVA
on Jan 23. ON TBD.*
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.
